I'm taking the next couple weeks off of looking at or posting anything to the Internet so I can finish Escape Velocity. If you see me posting and that post isn't "book's done!" I want you to yell at me. I may repost this Ko-Fi link to help out with new bills from time to time.

"Move fast and break things" and "better to ask forgiveness than permission" get us a whole suite of "AI" literally built out of consent violation and coerced control, where human consent is not meaningful a possibility, and uses that suit to try to coerce or replace anyone who might tell them "no."

Preliminary results show that the current framework of "AI" makes ppl less likely to help or seek help from other humans, or to seek to soothe conflict, and that people actively prefer that framework to any others, literally serving to make them more dependent on it.

Pritzker doing better journalism 101 than a lot of tv news producers these days

I get that this may seem like a really kind of strange thing that falls into no particular bucket, and that makes it a hard pitch. There is a lot of “what even am I looking at?” If you explain it. And yet. Ettin is fucking funny. And he delivers. If you’re *faintly* curious, this is a good bet.

Well yes. He has actual neo-Nazi tattoos, for one thing. It’s wild how quickly that has become normal. www.democracynow.org/2024/11/14/h...

För bara två veckor sedan delade regeringen ut sitt nyinstiftade pris till frivilliga civila svenskar som riskerar sina liv för att åka med humanitärt stöd till områden som UD avråder från resor till(!) De som fick priset fick pengar och hyllades av regeringen för att de inspirerade andra.

Flera vittnar om att de blivit slagna och nekats nödvändiga mediciner. Ändå är rubrikerna i stil med prinsessan på ärten "klagar över löss och hårda sängar". En kvinna lämnades i en cell med en FRAKTUR I BENET.

En statsminister kan inte tycka att svenska medborgare får ”skylla sig själva” när de fängslas och förnedras av Israel, skriver Annie Croona.

Can me get a break? Can the bluesky devs and mods just touch grass and magically become baseline better persons? I don’t want to move again. I just don’t have the energy. 😑😑😞 The year been so rough for everyone.

Man ska jobba när man är sjuk, svära trohet till nationen, vara villig att dö för Sverige, bli utförsäkrad och förbjudas att yttra sitt missnöje. I utbyte mot allt detta får man äran att bli ignorerad av Sverige om man kidnappas och torteras av en folkmordsregim.

”Svaret om Ryssland från 2022 visar att det är möjligt för SVT att ha en annan hållning än man har i dag. Och att beskedet att SVT är emot bojkott eller uteslutning av Israel därför i allra högsta grad är ett politiskt ställningstagande.” www.aftonbladet.se/kultur/a/ny8...

Being disabled is a minority group you can join at any time… yet most believe they’re the exception. They think it’ll never happen to them. That they will “try harder” their way out of it. That we could get better if we “really wanted to”. Health is temporary. Disability is not a moral failing.

People are getting up in their feels about me pointing out that disabled people depend on the systems we have and a revolution that doesn't insert plans FOR them aren't adequate.. It's wild, and telling, that anyone assumes I'm assigning that to a single party. Stop telling on yourselves.

“They dragged little Greta [Thunberg] by her hair before our eyes, beat her, and forced her to kiss the Israeli flag. They did everything imaginable to her, as a warning to others,” the Turkish activist ErsinÇelik, a participant in the Sumud flotilla, told Anadolu news agency.

Stuff undermining the truth. Israel didn't block the flotilla, they committed an act of piracy in international waters and illegally captured people carrying life-giving humanitarian aide.

Greta Thunberg är ett rött skynke för Tidöhögern. Därför är det extra viktigt nu att regeringen klarar att agera som landets ledare i relation till en medborgare – ingenting annat. Uppgifterna från Israel kan inte viftas undan.

It’s interesting and revealing that, despite his decades long history of very public antisemitism, Robinson is considered a friend to Israel thanks to his Islamophobia and his extremism.

Enligt Israels logik finns det en antal väldigt obehagliga saker vi kan göra när någon tar våra medborgare gisslan

feels like we are in the era of people at the top of the hierarchy with all the money and/or power, will not stop saying "wahhh you're so MEAN to me"

Ah if it wasn't for that little thing,

Swedish 🇸🇪 PM Ulf Kristersson continues to have no opinion about whether Swedish citizens should be kidnapped in international waters: www.dn.se/varlden/sven... I don’t think we’ve ever had such a spineless government.

“we heard tale of expanding the tent”

people who would sacrifice the human rights of others will get people already in the tent killed

Nelson Mandelas barnbarn på en av båtarna. Vilken PR-seger för ett land som begår krigsbrott.

As the advancing army advances against its own citizens, criminologists wonder: are the feds kidnapping and killing in a smart way?

I’m not talking about the “AI “actress”” thing because it is so clearly an astroturfed non-story which only benefits from people taking it seriously, even as outrage / distaste. It does not exist. It *will* not exist, at least as executed by these people. I refuse to fall for it.

The Victorian rules for mourning garb are both fascinating and infuriating (like most things about the Victorians). Women were expected to dress for phases of mourning lasting two years. Men, on the other hand, just schmucked on a black armband for three months. For their WIVES.

Det här är också ett HELT BANANER citat, men inte så förvånande från ATM

You’ll recall that the selling point for organising our societies like this is that this is the best, fairest and most efficient way to determine value and allocate resources

Staten: förväntar sig att medborgarna ska fatta att allt som köps med kryptovaluta är illegalt ❌ Också staten: investerar medborgarnas pensioner i kryptobörser och kryptokasinon 🤑

Irish citizens on flotilla 'illegally intercepted' by Israeli military

Så när engagerade föräldrar vill rädda en byskola och gynna landsbygdsutvecklingen så är det stopp. Däremot är det fritt fram för de stora skolkoncernerna att starta nya skolor i redan överetablerade centralorter.

Det här är precis sådan korruption som Moderaterna tidigare (felaktigt) anklagat svenskt bistånd för. Men när det gynnar ens egen agenda är det tydligen ok för M att direkt finansiera en av världens mest korrumperade regimer med biståndspengar. omni.se/a/0VPaoJ

When someone asks you to stop calling them something, you stop. Even if you don’t think you did something wrong. Even if it was an innocent mistake. Even if you meant nothing by it. You should stop because you care about others more than you care about being correct.

I’m legit excited to learn that there are workplaces banning it!

Dagens Arenas Jesper Bengtsson kräver att Forssells och Dousas agerande måste utredas efter Ekots avslöjande att regeringen i lönndom har skänkt 100 milj kr till Somalias korruptionsanklagade premiärminister för att denne ska ta emot 28 tvångsutvisade somalier. www.dagensarena.se/opinion/fors...

My personal timeline is full of autistic people trying to explain that there isn't more autism than before, it's just that we're better at detecting it, and there's nothing more autistic than hoping explaining something at length will help matters when nobody is really listening.

"Båda länderna ville hålla uppgörelsen hemlig". Jag förstår inte hur ansvarigt statsråd kan sitta kvar. Å andra sidan förstår jag mycket väl hur ansvarigt statsråd kan sitta kvar givet det nya Sverige.

Om inte ens detta leder till ministeravgångar, egentligen hela regeringen, så är det bara att acceptera att Sverige är ett land utan någon som helst ryggrad och moral.

It's fascinating and revealing how many centrists think refusing to compromise on human rights to gain the support of bigots represents a "political purity test," yet also think that a bigot saying "I won't join you unless you accommodate my bigotry" does NOT represent a "political purity test."
